Marietta City Council has taken a significant step towards enhancing the residential landscape of Crescent Circle by approving a rezoning request for the property at 266 Crescent Circle. During the meeting on June 11, 2025, local residents Sherry Decker and Buddy McDowell presented their case for converting the property from commercial to residential use, citing the area's recent shift towards more residential housing.

Decker and McDowell, who have utilized the property as an office for several years, expressed their desire to sell the house to potential buyers interested in residential development. They emphasized that the change would not only benefit their sale but also align with the neighborhood's evolving character, which has seen the addition of new townhomes nearby.

Councilman Walker, recognizing the area's transformation, motioned to approve the rezoning, highlighting the potential for further residential growth in the community. The council's decision reflects a broader trend in Marietta towards increasing residential options, particularly in areas that are becoming more family-oriented and walkable.

This approval marks a pivotal moment for Crescent Circle, as it paves the way for future residential development and revitalization efforts in the neighborhood. The council's actions signal a commitment to fostering a community that meets the needs of its residents while adapting to changing demographics and housing demands.
